<p align=center><b>Release 4.6: DB_REP_FULL_ELECTION</b></p>
<p>The DB_REP_FULL_ELECTION flag historically specified to the
<a href="../../api_c/repmgr_start.html">DB_ENV-&gt;repmgr_start</a> method has been removed from the 4.6 release.</p>
<p>In the Berkeley DB 4.6 release, a simpler and more flexible implementation of
this functionality is available.  Applications needing to configure the
first election of a replication group differently from subsequent
elections should use the <a href="../../api_c/rep_timeout.html#DB_REP_FULL_ELECTION_TIMEOUT">DB_REP_FULL_ELECTION_TIMEOUT</a> flag to
the <a href="../../api_c/rep_timeout.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_timeout</a> method to specify a different timeout for the
first election.</p>
